ASTER DAWN OF DAY. 



For the benefit of my brother florists, 

 I wish to ofifer a bit of information re- 

 garding an early variety of aster which 

 I tried last season, called Dawn of Day, 

 I found the variety catalogued by W. W. 

 Bawson & Co., of Boston, Mass., who 

 claimed for it the earliest record given 

 to any variety of aster — that it would 

 bloom by June 15. So I thought I 

 would see what could be done with it. 

 I sowed my seed by February 15 and 

 flatted the plants as soon as possible. I 

 also potted a few, which proved still 

 earlier in blooming. I had elegant blooms 

 to cut by early May, and, according to 

 my records, I had cut asters to tie up 

 for funeral work by May 9, 1908. At 

 Decoration day, 1908, I had elegant 

 asters to cut, which sold well. 



By planting this strain out in a good 

 coldframe as early as the frame can be 

 prepared, one could have a bed full for 

 Decoration day that would bring in 

 many long sought dollars. The blooms 

 are about the size of Boston Market and 

 perfect in shape, with stems eighteen to 

 twenty inches long. "With good treat- 

 ment and plenty of feed, the Dawn of 

 Day aster is a prize which never in my 

 experience has been equaled or even heard 

 of. I shall grow more of them this sea- 

 son, as they come in when it is hard to 

 get blooms of anything except roses and 

 carnations. 



The Dawn of Day needs to be grown 

 quite near the glass in its young stage, 

 as its early habit of growth causes it to 

 want to go into a single flower stem if 

 left on too low a bench. 



Anyone trying this strain of aster will 

 never regret it. The flowers are pure 

 white and the plants keep blooming a 

 long time. I hope anyone who wants 

 early asters will try this variety. 



G, J. Benedict, 



NAME OF PLANT. 



Please give me the name of the en- 

 closed plant. I find it a remarkably 

 quick grower and its peculiar nutmeg 

 aroma is much appreciated here. Would 

 it answer well for vases and window 

 boxes during the. summer? P. E, B, 



The name of the plant is Nepeta 

 Glechoma variegata. This makes a use- 

 ful carpet bedding plant and can also 

 be used for baskets and vases. It suc- 

 ceeds best, however, in the open sun.
